Step 1
Pat fish dry with paper towels inside and out. Score the thickest part of the fish 2-3 times on each side.
Step 2
Brush fish inside and out with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, then sprinkle herbs inside the cavity.
Step 3
Heat grill to medium-high (or heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking). Oil the grate lightly.
Step 4
Grill fish 5–6 minutes per side without moving — skin should blister and char, flesh should flake at the thickest point.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate. Slice lemon into thin rounds and serve alongside the fish.
